    Siamese signs – The signs are designed to inform 1st respondents about Siamese connection location and type of connection. The Fire Department Connection, also commonly known as the Siamese connection, is an important component found on most sprinkler and standpipe systems. When a fire sprinkler system activates, the FDC provides a means for firefighters to connect hose lines to supplement the fire sprinkler system's domestic water supply. We can say it is called two for one. In case one side of the Siamese does not work, the other one will support it.

    They are called so, because of their visual similarity to Siamese twins since they encompass two pipe openings for a single pipe that leads either to the building’s standpipe, a vertical water pipe that leads all the way to the top of the building, or the building’s sprinkler system, or both. One opening is a backup for the other, in case the first is defective, though it can also be connected to a second hose if more pressure is needed.
